On October 6th, 55 forth graders from Edison K-8 School came to Northeastern University for a field trip on engineering. After being given a presentation by volunteers Amanda, Orianna, and Carlin about the mechanics of catapults, students made their own Catapults. These catapults were then test fired by launching Skittles at a target. Then students had the opportunity to asked Northeastern volunteers about their college experience in the College 101 information panel.
